ROMAN Bednar insisted minds were now fully focused on Saturday's game against Cardiff despite his heroics in last night's FA Cup replay shoot-out.

The Czech striker, who scored Albion's opener in the 2-2 draw against Charlton, netted the decisive spot-kick to set up a fourth-round clash against Peterborough.

But Bednar is more interested in Saturday's visit of the Bluebirds, who have already won at The Hawthorns this season, a 4-2 Carling Cup victory in September.

"I don't even know when we play at Peterborough because it's more important now to look at the Cardiff game on Saturday," he said.

"We need to focus on that one now.

"Last night was another game that we wanted to win, maybe more for the supporters than for us, but we are happy that we are in the next round."

Bednar revealed that last night's shoot-out was the first he had ever taken part in.

He claims he felt confident of scoring, having already grabbed the opening goal.

"I had never taken part in a shoot-out so maybe I was just lucky, but I was confident," he added.

"It's always easy if you are comfortable and to score a winning goal is always good. In the Czech Republic I took penalties, but they were in the game."

Bednar continued: "It was a good ending for all of us. It was a very difficult game. Charlton are a very good team but we should have kept it at 2-0. Charlton showed character but we did well not to lose the game and the finish was very good."
